This map is a perfect size for an inside pocket or a handbag. Being laminated the map can avoid getting crumpled in the way that maps annoyingly do and the print is clear and legible.
Perfect map for my trip in Venice.I love the fact that I can't destoy it if it gets wet.
If you are not great at refolding maps this is the map for you. I can fold it in any direction so I can have the area I want to concentrate on. This map and others from them are very difficult to destroy. Perfect for travel.
The streetwise map of Venice was not quite as useful as other Streetwise Maps I've used in other locals. However, it is waterproof, small, easily taken along, and easy to read. If there is anywhere that a second map helps, it's Venice. So just take it along, don't rely on it alone.
I think that they did the best they could while keeping the map smallish: it folds out to 8.5 inches X 19 inches. If I didn't have this map, it would have been much worse. I usually have a great sense of direction and Venice is the first city I've ever vacationed where I actually got lost when there was still daylight. (It is 8.5 inches X 4 inches folded up). The map has it's problems but that has more to do with the streets of Venice which have long names that often change every block. I don't blame the map-makers. This map is much better than the maps included in the Venice travel book we bought ("Top Ten Venice"), and I'm glad we bought it. We'd truly have been lost without it.
